Morphology
polyuria = poly + ur + ia
The prefix poly- is transparent and points to 'many/excessive', but the ur- + -ia medical formation is specialized, so the full meaning is only partly guessable.
Etymology
Polyuria comes from poly- meaning 'many' and -uria meaning 'urine', so it literally puts together 'many' and 'urine', which is why polyuria is the medical name for producing a lot of urine.
